Christmas is coming!!!! ACK!

It's an interesting thing working for a church. We plan and plan and plan for the big outreach event, which this year took place on the 15th and 16th of December. Than as soon as it is over we as a staff crash, and feel like the holidays are over. This year I was feeling that way and along came my christmas present, Alyce Kathleen Joel, and boy did my mind forget we were 8 days from the birth of Jesus. I remember when I was a kid the magic of the season, the music on the radio, the log on channel 20.

Well today I took Kelli to the store to get cookies and milk for santa, right after we went looking at the houses on Crippsmas Court, a section of fremont completely decorated. This wide-eyed wonder made me realize what day it was and the magic came flooding back to me.

Merry Christmas

P.S. Check out the new tab The Joel Monitor (on the left hand side of the page). Here you will be able to track everything going on with Alyce and Kelli. Just click on it and you will see.

P.P.S. A picture I just adore.

Alyce Kathleen Joel

Hey All,

Well our family has officially grown by 1, with the addition of Alyce Kathleen Joel. She was born 12/17/07 @ 11:03 pm. Weighing in at 9 lbs 1 oz, measuring 20 inches. Amy and Alyce are doing great and are at Kaiser Hayward in room 209B. Kelli and I are on our way to the Hospital. Kelli is excited to meet her baby sister.

Long time no post!

Well I hope this picture makes up for the long hiatus I have had with the blog. Kelli's first picture with Santa , during her third Christmas. Time sure flies. If you haven't noticed we are in the final week of baby waiting. Well official baby waiting that is. If Alyce is anything like her big sister, then we have two weeks to wait. I am beginning to Amy and I may be spending Christmas in the Delivery room.

Everything is going great on this end I will post more tomorrow.

See ya soon
